    Pepperoni and mushroom pizza slices
    Reuben M.

    It's not bad for corner store pizza. However, I literally had better frozen pizza the day before.. They have an old school pizza oven, and make and toss their own pizza dough. Thats where it all ends. We ordered by the slice, and the dough was tough and not crispy as others have reviewed. Also, my wife ordered a salad. The veggies weren't fresh and crisp as they should be. They are old and rubbery, especially the cucumbers and tomatoes. This place is overhyped.

    Amazing place! The pasta is a real delight I totally recommend you eat here and don't say the pizza is incredibly delicious!

    Pizza place in a gas station, with some pretty decent seating outside on a deck! Interesting setup that i think works well. The pizza and pasta were both relatively inexpensive, and the portions were generous. I don't remember exactly which pasta i got, but i remember liking it more than the pizza. Though, the pizza wasn't disappointing in the least! Great place to have in the neighborhood for some affordable Italian food!

    I stopped by Giovanni's before a girls' pizza night. I read the reviews and had to check this place out myself. It's a pizza shop inside a gas station. I ordered online. We got a large (15") pizza, half Meat Lovers and half Supreme, along with the mozzarella bread. The order was ready in 20 minutes. To pick up the pizza, you go inside the gas station. The staff was friendly and efficient (and my goodness, they were busy). The pizza is phenomenal. They do not go stingy on the topping. I enjoyed the mozzarella bread, as well, but the pizza really was the star of the show. I would definitely return to try out their Hawaiian and Margherita pizza, and their pasta actually looked very good, as well.

    Pizza stand in a gas station but they do it right. Pizza is made to order. They do an amazing job for being in such a small space too!

    Never thought I'd say this, but Garage Station Pizza tastes pretty damn good! I was quite impressed with everything @ Giovanni's. It was the perfect storm of quality food in an efficient and timely manner, well priced, and accommodating customer service. I've been wanting to try these guys out for a year now so I made the slight detour after a quickie @ the Barton Creek Mall and I was there in no-time. I could not find the place, driving back and forth, then I read the Yelp Tips - - "inside Valero". Ahh, my bad. I look over the menu and everyone's recommendation was the White Pie w/ Sausage & Spinach. Wow, sounds nice, so I ask the guy for his feedback and he agrees. I like variety and didn't want to overload on the alfredo sauce, so I asked if he could do half-n-half w/ their veggie version (aka "4 Seasons") - - no problem! The jumped right on it and my pizza was out of the oven in about 15 minutes. It looked great, and he even asked me how crispy would I prefer the crust. He also wasn't done with it just yet, they took the pizza to the stove where there was a saucepan containing hot alfredo sauce whipped up just for me. It smelled so good as he drizzled the hot alfredo over half of the pie. That's a first for me - - I've seen alfredo used as a base as it goes on first but he said "no, this way is better". I was just glad they didn't have a huge tub of old alfredo sauce w/ a big ladle like those cafeterias and school luncheons do. I forgot to ask to add garlic - - no problem, he added it on for me and even asked if I wanted my hot pizza topped off w/ fresh parmesan cheese instead of the grated - - hell yeah! More cheese please! What excellent customer service! I couldn't resist and wait until I got home so I planted my ass on one of their picnic tables outside and gave it a shot - - oh my, it was superb! Tasted exceptionally well, piping hot, the alfredo was so creamy good and I loved the sausage. The 4 Seasons was also great, my veggies were piled up high as they don't skimp on the good stuff here. The crust is thin and on the crispy side, it was just an overall great tasting pizza. Kudos for for being on this side of town but keeping their prices reasonable and comparable to the product they offer. I scanned through their flatscreen display to see pics of the pastas - - wow, they all looked so damn appetizing! He said they were very popular and gave me a couple of recommendations, it's $8 for a good sized serving w/ garlic bread which sounds perfect to me. I will definitely have to make my way back to Giovannis - - everything tasted so great and the customer service rocked!

    Great pizza. Nice crunchy crust. If you get the Greek pizza, order it without the olive oil. It's too greasy otherwise.

    In a city filled with amazing pizza joints, Baldinucci is definitely near the top of the list…read more Located in West Lake Hills, I was pleasantly surprised by just how many pizza options they offer. They're especially known for their Roman-style pizza so I highly recommend giving it a try. As for flavors, you really can't go wrong but the standouts for me were the Potato, Chicken Parm and Lasagna slices. They also serve calzones, New York-style pizza, gelato and wine, so there's truly something for everyone. The pizza is priced by the slice, which makes it easy to mix and match like I did, though you can also order a full pie. I will say this definitely isn't cheap pizza, but you're absolutely paying for quality ingredients and incredible flavor. I ended up taking mine to go, but they do have a few tables inside and outside if you want to dine in. With plenty of parking, fast service and mind-blowing flavors what more could you ask for from a pizza spot?

Two things grab you immediately, the variety of pizzas available and other offerings such as gelato (yes! Gelato...so uniquely Italian). The Roman style slices were light, airy, and crisp. In addition, they also serve New York-style pizza pies as a classic pizza offering. Customers can elect to have a whole pizza, a variety of pizza slices to equal a whole pizza or pizza by the slice. Literally, even the most discerning palate can find can pizza at this location - vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options...yes...traditional selections and creative combinations...yes! You can taste the exquisite quality of the ingredients, from the crust to the toppings. We ordered the Italian sausage and pepper pizza. For a person who does not eat a lot of pizza, this pizza was delicious. The Baldinucci vibe was uniquely European...families sitting outside enjoy pizza and all the trimmings along with friends, colleagues and family members also dining inside. There was a constant stream of customers picking up "to-go" orders as well. While in route, we got a bit lost circling the Randall parking lot twice. Once we reached staff, they were so helpful to point out a major landmark, which helped navigate us to the building. Excellent dining experience...

Other than that consider this place an overpriced hotel cafeteria. I'd sincerely avoid this restaurant if you have literally any other choice. For starters we ordered the salumi board. Guys: 6 slices of 3 different kinds of meat with pickles isn't a shareable dish, nor should it be on any menu ever. I was astounded that the 23$ this dish cost only earned a third of the charcuterie meats kit that costs about 7$ in HEB. The deli meats weren't that good of quality, and the sad attempt at bread or crackers were either burned or soggy from pickle juice. I'm not going to rate this dish, and whoever runs this place needs to either get rid of it or make the proportions make sense. I ordered a Sicilian sandwich and my partner ordered biscuits and gravy. My Sicilian sandwich looked like the waiter ate the other half of it. Except for the fact I received a plate full of fries and 2 sad quarters of what I imagine was a reheated sandwich. I'd give this dish a 3 out of 10, with a special note that if the sandwich was an appropriate size for the price tag I would have given it a 6. But since I only received a half of my sandwich it only gets a 3. The biscuits and gravy were passable, my partner didn't have too many complaints and gave it a 6 as well. When we sat in we planned on getting a dessert but by the end of the meal we decided to look for somewhere else. In summary: DO NOT GO HERE FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. I wouldn't come back under any circumstances, but coming for a valentines date was a huge mistake on our part. The food was equivalent to a mediocre pub at an airport with matching prices and lacking portions.
